Visited the opera when on business. The concert of Allessandro Safina was sold out. Prices for admission pretty high. Concert was good, building is magnificent. If you get the chance, do visit the mirror room above the entrance.

Built between 1897 and 1900, it is the single most emblematic landmark in Lviv. Interestingly enough, it was the first Opera House to be built in a city that wasn't the capital. The design is in the Classical tradition with some details of Baroque and Renaissance architecture. The actual design of the theatre was made by a Polish architect by... More

The building interior is also very interesting and have great and impressive artwork. The ballet performance are superb and I really enjoyed the performance and the great music. Important to note that there are... More

This was my first ever ballet. Enjoyed the Nutcracker. Even if you don't enjoy ballet or opera, you are sure to enjoy exploring the interior of this marvelous building. Prices are more than reasonable.

The building is beautiful and the performance we went to was attended by all sorts of people enjoying the "The Merry Widow." While we did not speak the language, the performance was fun and reasonably priced.

Inside it is very beautiful and when there are no performances, you can get a total vieu with a gide, that you... More

Compared to what I have seen elsewhere, for example in Kiev. I expected to understand the story from what I have seen on the stage but could not.

I semi-accidentally went to see this ballet last weekend while in Lviv and it turned out to be the premier. What can I say? This is the best ballet I've seen in my life (and I've seen lots of them both in Ukraine including Lviv and in the US). I'm not a huge expert, but even without special expertise I... More

We booked our tickets in advance at the ticket office along Prosp. Svobody (near Opera Passage) a few days before so didn't have to line up at the box office on the night of the performance. Saw Swan Lake, all 3 acts of it and have to say we thought it was good - locals seemed to agree as applause... More
